TI - The Unexplained Part of Public Debt PY - 2011 Y1 - 2011/02/07 DO - 10.18235/0010854 AB - This paper shows that budget deficits account for a relatively small fraction of debt growth and that stock-flow reconciliation, which is often considered a residual entity, is one of the key determinants of debt dynamics. After having explained the importance of the stock-flow reconciliation, the paper shows that this residual entity can be partly explained by contingent liabilities and balancesheet effects.
